France: Total Obtains 20% of the Volumes of the Latest National Solar Tender,
More Than 600 MW of Projects Awarded in France

 

Total (Paris:FP) (LSE:TTA) (NYSE:TOT), through Total Quadran, a wholly-owned
affiliate dedicated to developing and producing renewable energy in France,
was awarded 67 megawatt-peak (MWp) of solar projects representing 20% of the
volumes awarded in the eighth period of the CRE (French Energy Regulatory
Commission) call for tenders. Total is thus consolidating its position as
France's second-largest solar developer with 606 MW of projects in all the
sections of the calls for tenders.

Most of the awarded sites will be developed on repurposed sites such as
quarries and former industrial sites. Three of these projects are part of the
solarization program for Total Group sites.

« Total Quadran is proud to be among the leaders in renewable energies in
France and to continue to perform in the calls for tenders of the French
Energy Regulatory Commission. The results of the call for tenders are a good
illustration of our ability to put together solid and competitive proposals in
a competitive environment. » said Thierry Muller, General Manager of Total
Quadran.
